The Role of shock jocks, spin doctors and tabloid trash media outlets in Australian election

Further to Investigating
shock jocks spin doctors and tabloid trash media outlets shock jocks, spin
doctors and tabloid trash media outlets were blatantly active to manipulate the
outcome of the last federal election. Instead of reporting truthfully and
accurately they went on to manufacture consent and opinion. They also used
racism and blocked genuine debates and discussions.

Shock
jocks, spin doctors and tabloid trash media outlets did their best to promote Phony
Toney and they also prevented many people to say anything positive about the
Greens and Labor.

Even
after the loss of election they maintained their pro-Liberal stand with
noticeable discrimination. Would you believe they did everything to pre-empt
the outcome of these opinion
polls too.

One
must wonder, the Australian Media and Communication Authority, Australian
Electoral Commission or any other body should be examining the role and conduct
of Shock jocks, spin doctors and tabloid trash media outlets and their impact
thereby.

VOTERS
would rather the three country independents side with Julia Gillard and form a
minority government than join Tony Abbott and the Coalition, a new poll finds.

It
also finds that if Australia went back to the polls, there would be a small
shift towards the Coalition but the result would be the same - a hung
parliament.

The
Telereach-JWS Research Poll of 4192 voters was conducted on Thursday as the
Tasmanian independent, Andrew Wilkie, sided with Labor, leaving it with 74
seats and needing two more to form government. The Coalition is on 73 seats and
needs the support of all three rural independents, Rob Oakeshott, Tony Windsor
and Bob Katter.

Senior
Liberals feel the momentum shifting towards Labor and their best hope was to
exert pressure on the three independents by appealing to their constituents,
the majority of whom are conservative. ''I would find it almost inconceivable
that the country independents would back a Labor/Green coalition with Bob Brown
as the effective deputy prime minister,'' the opposition finance spokesman,
Andrew Robb, said. ''It would destroy Australia.''

The
JWS poll finds 37 per cent of voters want the rural trio to side with Labor
compared with 31 per cent for Mr Abbott, while 26 per cent want another
election.

The
poll finds that if there were another election, the Coalition would lead on the
primary vote by 44.9 per cent to 35.4 per cent, while the Greens would receive
13.8 per cent.

Overall,
this would represent an increase nationally in the Coalition's primary vote
lead over Labor by 3.9 percentage points. The Coalition would lead on the
two-party-preferred vote by 50.4 per cent to 49.6 per cent.

But
because of variations in each state, that would result at best in one Labor
seat - Greenway in NSW - falling to the Liberals and a hung parliament. The
only finding that produced a clear majority was the 59 per cent of voters who
expressed concern at the $10.6 billion blowout that Treasury found in the
Coalition's policy costings.

''Unless
the Coalition can dispel the perception it has a black hole in its election
costings, the momentum appears to be with Julia Gillard and Labor to form
minority government,'' said the managing director of JWS, John Scales.

The
poll found 42 per cent felt a ''Labor-Greens alliance'' would be bad for the
country but 43 per cent felt it would be good.

Mr
Robb and other Coalition frontbenchers attacked Mr Wilkie yesterday for citing
as a reason to join Labor a $1 billion offer from Mr Abbott to build a new
hospital in Hobart. Mr Wilkie had wanted a new hospital but thought Mr Abbott's
offer was unethical compared with Ms Gillard's offer to source funding though
existing mechanisms.

Mr
Robb and the shadow treasurer, Joe Hockey, said it was Mr Wilkie who had
demanded the $1 billion from Mr Abbott. Mr Robb accused Mr Wilkie of being in
the thrall of Labor's spin doctor firm.

The
three independents are expected to make a decision on Monday. Mr Katter and Mr
Windsor said again yesterday they may all go the same way.
